Pheromones and pheromone receptors are required for proper sexual development in the homothallic ascomycete Sordaria macrospora.

Genetics - 1 Mar 2006

Mayrhofer Severine, Weber Jan M, Pöggeler Stefanie

Abstract excerpt

The homothallic, filamentous ascomycete Sordaria macrospora is self-fertile and produces sexual fruiting bodies (perithecia) without a mating partner. Even so, S. macrospora transcriptionally expresses two pheromone-precursor genes (ppg1 and ppg2) and two pheromone-receptor genes (pre1 and pre2). The proteins encoded by these genes are similar to alpha-factor-like and a-factor-like pheromones and to...
